TWO GRRM DRAGONS

April 3, 2003

The gaming magazine DRAGON is offering a double dip of Westeros for fans of A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.

The current issue of DRAGON (#305) includes “The Arms of the Kraken,” a novella-length excerpt from A FEAST FOR CROWS, illustrated by Justin Sweet. The novella tells the story of the fight for the driftwood crown of the Iron Islands in the aftermath of the events of A STORM OF SWORDS. This is the March issue of the magazine, on sale at newsstands and bookshops from coast to coast… but if you’d like to read the novella, you had better snap up a copy soon, since the April issue will soon be taking its place.

That’s only the opening act, however. The May DRAGON (issue #307) will be a special Westeros issue. A spendid cover painting, by Hugo-nominated artist Donato Giancola, depicts everybody’s favorite red priestess, Melisandre of Asshai. Inside, readers will find art and articles about the world of the Seven Kingdoms, including scenarios and suggestions for role-playing campaigns set on the Wall, or amongst the backstabbers and intriguers of King’s Landing. The issue will also feature a full-color fold out map of Westeros, north and south, and a brand new interview with yours truly.
